If your teenager suddenly seems distant, emotional, or wants nothing to do with you, you're not failing as a parent — and you're definitely not alone. In this eye-opening episode of the Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam Podcast, Dr. Cam Caswell sits down with Aliyah Singh, Hannah Ticajo, and Caitlin Severin from CultivaTeen Roots to unpack the real reason teens push parents away — and why it's actually a normal part of adolescent development. Together, they explore the science behind parenting teens, emotional safety, communication, self-regulation, and healthy family relationships. You'll learn why controlling behavior often damages connection, how social media impacts parenting expectations, and why the key to raising confident, independent teens is shifting from managing them to supporting them. This conversation is packed with practical parenting strategies to help parents reduce conflict, strengthen trust, improve communication with teenagers, and rediscover joy in the teen years. If you're exhausted by constant power struggles, worried about losing connection with your child, or wondering how to support your teen without pushing them further away, this episode will give you hope, clarity, and actionable tools you can start using immediately.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why teens naturally pull away from parents during adolescence — and what it actually means for your relationship How emotional safety and nervous system regulation improve communication with teenagers The parenting shift that helps teens become more independent, responsible, and emotionally resilient Practical ways to build stronger family relationships without control, pressure, or constant conflict   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR PARENTS OF TEENS 1. Connection Grows Through Presence, Not Pressure Spending calm, low-pressure time together helps teens feel emotionally safe and more willing to connect naturally. 2. Teens Need Support More Than Control Shifting from “manager” to “consultant” helps teenagers build confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills. 3. Regulated Parents Create Safer Relationships Parents who practice self-regulation model emotional safety and help reduce tension and conflict at home. 4. Reflective Listening Builds Trust Teens open up more when parents listen without interrogating, fixing, or immediately offering advice. 5. The Teen Years Shape Long-Term Family Relationships How parents respond during adolescence strongly impacts future adult relationships with their children.

Protect your generational wealth by building a stronger foundation. Author Buddy Thomas shares his 50-year roadmap for holistic planning and active family estate planning that unites your legacy. Leaving an inheritance is easy. Passing on a sustainable, thriving legacy is incredibly difficult. Most wealthy and aspirational families spend millions on legal structures and tax loopholes, yet completely neglect the emotional and relational capital required to keep that wealth from dissolving across generations. In this episode of Safe Space, we are joined by veteran wealth strategist and author of Love Wisdom Money, Buddy Thomas. With over five decades of hands-on experience working directly with trustors, trustees, and beneficiaries, Buddy has witnessed firsthand why traditional financial planning fails. He reveals why placing love and wisdom ahead of the actual currency is the only way to meet both your legal and moral responsibilities as a family fiduciary. In this conversation, we solve for: The Currency Disconnect: Why passing down money without passing down the family values that gave it meaning creates a destructive legacy. The Power of Holistic Planning: How to engage in deep financial and estate planning that actively protects your family's relational health. Continuous Family Engagement: Practical frameworks to keep the next generation involved in ongoing conversations about wealth, fostering true alignment and cohesion. If you are a "Family Champion" or a leader managing a family office, Buddy's grounded, story-driven guidance provides a blueprint for true succession planning. It's time to stop looking at your legacy as a math problem and start building a generative ecosystem that safeguards your family's true wealth for decades to come.

1160: Reframing Faith & Navigating Moral Complexity of History (Patrick Mason)

I invited Dr. Patrick Mason on to discuss reframing faith in the complex history of religion. He iis a historian and theologian at Utah State University, and discusses the evolution of his career from academic research to pastoral writing aimed at those navigating faith crises. He reflects on the limitations of a transactional approach to religion, suggesting instead that individuals must take personal accountability for their spiritual lives while remaining part of a community. Mason addresses difficult historical and moral issues, such as slavery and the priesthood ban, by arguing that past leaders were fallible and that modern believers should engage with the moral complexity of their heritage. He also shares his profound emotional experience studying the Rwandan genocide, using it as a lens to explore the problem of evil and the role of God in a suffering world. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for honest questioning and wrestling with doubt. Ultimately, Mason advocates for a broad and inclusive religious tent where the focus remains on a faithful God rather than the perfection of human messengers. He is the author of Planted and Restoration.   https://youtu.be/c_7JWglAeRY Don’t miss our previous conversation with Patrick: https://gospeltangents.com/people/patrick-mason/ Reframing Faith: Navigating the Moral Complexity of History and Belief We explored the difficult terrain of faith crises, historical trauma, and the transition from a transactional to an authentic spiritual life. Mason, known for his pastoral works like Planted and Restoration, argues that we must move beyond a “vending machine” approach to God to find a more durable and honest faith. The Trap of the Transactional God Many believers grow up with an “illusion of contract,” believing that specific acts of obedience—like paying tithing or accepting every calling—guarantee divine protection from calamity. Mason points out that when life fails to follow this script, individuals often fall into a “bottomless pit” of self-blame, thinking they simply weren’t “perfect enough.” Drawing on the teachings of the Apostle Paul, Mason emphasizes that we cannot reach God purely through the law; instead, we must take individual authority over our spiritual lives while remaining anchored in a community that “decenters the ego.” Confronting the “Moral Complexity” of History One of the most challenging aspects of a faith journey involves reconciling modern morality with the actions of past leaders, particularly regarding issues like slavery and the priesthood ban. Mason addresses the “trap of presentism”—the idea that we shouldn’t judge the past by modern standards—by noting that even in the 19th century, there were voices like Orson Pratt who critiqued slavery as an offense to our theology using the scriptures available at the time. Furthermore, Rick challenges the historical justification that the priesthood ban was necessary for the Church’s survival, noting that other restoration branches never implemented such bans. Patrick invites us to imagine a history where Brigham Young chose “radical racial inclusion” based on the Book of Mormon’s teaching that “all are alike unto God,” suggesting the Church might have been generations ahead in its global mission. Facing Evil and Prophetic Fallibility Mason's reflections on the 1994 Rwanda genocide serve as a sobering lens for the “problem of evil.” After visiting massacre sites in Rwandan churches, he described the experience as a confrontation with “satanic” evil that defies easy theological answers and forces us to ask, “Where was God?” This recognition of human darkness extends to his view of prophetic fallibility. Mason asserts that while prophets are “reliable guides,” they are not infallible and do not claim to be. He believes it is a mistake to treat the scriptures or prophetic statements as inerrant, noting that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone, not through the perfection of his messengers. Creating Spaces to Wrestle with Faith To help others navigate these complexities, Mason and his wife hosted a student group in their home for years, providing a space for open gospel conversations without “guard rails.” He found that when people are given the space to wrestle with difficult questions—ranging from LGBTQ+ issues to church history—they often discover their own spiritual authority and wisdom. Ultimately, Mason suggests that the most foundational Christian covenant is not a litmus test of witnessing, but the commitment to “mourn with those that mourn” and “bear one another's burdens.” By creating spaces where people feel heard and validated, the community can move toward a more authentic and loving practice of the gospel.

In this episode Alison speaks with Chanlee Sutoyo about journaling as a tool for self-care, emotional processing, and reclaiming personal voice. She shares that she has journaled since childhood and describes her journal as a private place to tell the truth without judgment.They discuss how she came to use journaling in a more intentional way during a difficult period in her career. After developing chronic pain in a high-pressure attorney job, she began looking at the emotional and psychological roots of what she was experiencing. She explains that writing down anger, grief, resentment, and other feelings helped release what she had been holding in her body.She also walks us through her approach to journaling, which she uses with women who are high-achieving and often self-silencing. Rather than focusing on perfect conditions or polished writing, she encourages raw, honest writing and treats prompts as doorways that can help people identify what they are carrying and what they want to claim for themselves.They talk about Chanlee's live small-group journaling circles, where participants write together, then have optional sharing and witnessing time. She says this group setting creates trust, support, and space to be seen without coaching or fixing. She also shares that she offers private coaching, a website with resources, and a downloadable PDF with prompts for people who want to begin journaling.HIGHLIGHTS:1:16 Meet the Journaling Expert2:57 What Journaling Really Does4:11 From Success to Chronic Pain6:50 Discovering Rage Journaling10:53 Pressure, Pain, and Women14:20 The Journaling Process17:09 Inside the Writing Circle19:57 Start Journaling Todayconnect with Chanleewebsite: https://rageonthe.pageSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

“Value shifts from things that are in abundance to things that have more scarcity.”  In this live Object Subject Form session, Simon Clowes is joined by PJ Richardson for a follow-up conversation to Simon's Safe Space LA talk, “Motion Designers Are Cooked.” The original talk opened up a discussion around the emotional reality of working in motion design and creative industries being reshaped in real time by AI, accelerated workflows, and shifting expectations. This conversation continues that thread. AI is often discussed as a tool for speed, efficiency, and output. But underneath the surface, the deeper question is much more personal: identity. What do motion designers, creative directors, animators, and designers hold onto when a job title no longer explains their value? Together, Simon and PJ explore where value migrates when more of the creative process becomes easier to produce, and why creative point of view is becoming more strategically important. As Simon puts it, this is a shift from building a body of work to building a body of thought. This is a conversation about AI and design, creative identity, studio culture, and how creative people can navigate uncertainty, protect their sense of self, build reputation, and stay adaptable without losing the deeper human qualities that make the work meaningful. –– Chapters 00:00:00 Cold Open: Are Creatives Losing Their Purpose? 00:00:49 Welcome Back to Safe Space 00:03:08 Career Uncertainty and Creative Identity 00:04:23 Titles, Identity, and Creative Advantage 00:09:57 Why Point of View Is Becoming More Strategic 00:14:23 Advice for Young Designers Entering the Industry 00:23:44 AI, Experimentation, and the Identity Crisis 00:31:59 Why AI Still Needs Strong Artists 00:35:18 From Body of Work to Body of Thought 00:41:19 Why Hard Creative Problems Still Matter 00:49:21 Remote Work, Community, and Creative Exchange 00:55:57 Relationships, Reputation, and Trust 01:17:32 Creative Culture, Critique, and Leadership 01:37:42 PJ on Identity, Purpose, and Leadership 01:46:14 Closing Thoughts –– Connect with PJ Richardson  PJ Richardson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pj-richardson-845599/  Laundry: https://www.laundry.studio/ Safe Space: https://www.safe-space-la.com/ –– Contact Simon / Object Subject Form Website: https://objectsubjectform.com/ Object Subject Form on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/objectsubjectform/ Object Subject Form on Instagram: https://instagram.com/objectsubjectform Simon's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/simonclowes Simon's Instagram: https://instagram.com/simon_clowes Simon's X: https://x.com/simon_clowes –– About Object Subject Form Object Subject Form is a podcast and creative platform hosted by Simon Clowes, exploring the human side of creativity, identity, and emerging technologies through conversations with artists, designers, technologists, and cultural thinkers.

Stop letting self-criticism ruin your family business dynamics. Leadership coach Massimo Backus explains how self-compassion and emotional intelligence create a more resilient succession plan. Why do so many family business leaders feel like they have to choose between being a "strong boss" and a "loving family member"? Often, the pressure to maintain a multi-generational legacy leads to a culture of overcontrol and self-pressure that actually stifles growth. In this episode of Safe Space, we sit down with leadership strategist and author of Human First, Leader Second, Massimo Backus. With a deep background in organizational psychology, Massimo helps us dismantle the internal narratives and inherited behaviors that often plague family enterprises. We move past the technical side of governance to look at the "inner work" required to sustain a healthy family office. In this conversation, we solve for: The "Overcontrol" Trap: Why founders struggle to delegate and how to shift from controlling the work to developing the people. Emotional Resilience: Using mindfulness and self-awareness to navigate high-stakes family dynamics without burning out. Building a Flourishing Culture: How replacing self-criticism with self-trust allows the next generation to step into their own leadership with confidence. Whether you are navigating a difficult succession or simply trying to improve family relationships within the business, Massimo's story-driven approach offers a practical roadmap.

In this episode, we explore a powerful—and often overlooked—opportunity: the workplace as a source of stability in an increasingly unstable world. At a time when the outside environment feels chaotic, divisive, and uncertain, people are craving something deeply human—connection, meaning, and a sense of belonging. Isolation is more common than we admit, and the pull toward like-minded tribes is growing stronger. That's where work can step in—not just as a place to perform tasks, but as a place to feel grounded. We talk about how leaders and organizations can intentionally create workplaces that offer psychological safety in a noisy world, real community (not just collaboration), and a shared sense of purpose that rises above the daily grind. This isn't about making work soft. It's about making it steady—predictable in the best ways, and human at its core. Because when done well, the workplace can become something rare today: an island of sanity. Jump in with us as we explore the question, “What if the most stabilizing force in someone's life right now… is their job?”

Kevin Allison, creator of the RISK! podcast, recounts a high school prank at an all-boys Jesuit school in 1986. After a crush teased him by repeatedly spitting on him, Kevin later mailed him a sealed container of feces labeled “enjoy the cookies.” In retelling the story, Kevin considers how the prank mixes humiliation and a possible form of intimacy, situated within his experience of growing up gay under Catholic doctrine. For Kevin, telling such stories has become an opportunity for self-reflection. Beyond this, Kevin argues that sharing what is usually considered “unmentionable” can create a distinct form of connection: moments of vulnerability tend to draw listeners in rather than push them away. Thus, the points of greatest risk are often where an audience leans in most.Chapters:[00:00] The Mailing Feces Prank[12:49] Why the "Unmentionable" Matters[14:20] Coming Out Under Catholicism[18:09] Starting RISK![23:02] Teaching Storytelling[35:41] Revisiting Old Stories[42:22] Audience Backlash[47:36] What are "Safe Spaces"[56:09] How Memory Alters a Story[01:03:29] Closing RemarksFind the RISK! podcast here: https://www.risk-show.com/Subscribe on Substack: https://braininavat.substack.com/

There is a powerful shift happening - and it's centered around midlife women. Women who have spent years building careers, raising families, and showing up for everyone else are now asking a different question: What do I want? In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down in person in Austin with the founders of SOL Women to talk about the rise of retreats designed specifically for midlife women - and why these experiences are more needed now than ever. SOL Women creates holistic, supportive retreat experiences that help women reconnect with themselves, prioritize their well-being, and step into a new chapter of life with clarity and confidence. Together, they explore: The unique needs of midlife women The role of retreats in holistic healing and transformation The challenges of building a retreat business from the ground up The unexpected rewards and growth that come from hosting retreats This conversation is honest, grounded, and inspiring - whether you're a retreat leader, thinking about starting a retreat business, or simply someone who believes in the power of community and connection.   What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why midlife women are seeking retreats and community more than ever • How holistic retreats support mental, emotional, and physical well-being • The real challenges of building a retreat business • The unexpected rewards of hosting retreats • How retreats create lasting connection and transformation Key Takeaways Midlife Women Are Seeking Something Deeper This stage of life often brings reflection, transition, and a desire for more alignment. Retreats provide a space for women to pause, reconnect, and redefine what's next.   Retreats Are More Than a Getaway Holistic retreats offer: community connection healing self-discovery They create experiences that go far beyond relaxation.   Building a Retreat Business Isn't Easy - But It's Worth It The founders of SOL Women share the real side of building a retreat business: the challenges the learning curve the unexpected growth And also the rewards that make it all worthwhile.   The Power of Community One of the most impactful aspects of retreats is the connection created between participants. Women leave feeling: seen supported understood And that ripple effect continues long after the retreat ends.   About SOL Women & Lauren & Nandita SOL Women creates holistic retreat experiences designed specifically for midlife women. Their retreats focus on supporting women through life transitions with a blend of wellness practices, community connection, and personal growth. Nandita Mahadevan is a multi-industry business leader, Functional Medicine enthusiast, and Certified Health & Hormone Coach with a deep passion for women's health. ​After two decades climbing the corporate ladder in the health and wellness industry, she found herself burned out—her adrenals depleted, her health suffering. This wake-up call led her on a profound journey of self-discovery, pushing her to rethink wellness beyond just the clinical approach. Her passion for women's health peaked during her own transition into perimenopause when she struggled to find the support she needed. While her background in Functional Medicine helped her understand the physical changes, the emotional and spiritual upheaval was something she had to navigate alone. ​This experience sparked the creation of Sol Women—a space dedicated to guiding women through all stages of womanhood, from hormones and health to emotional and spiritual well-being. Nandita lives in Bee Cave, Austin, with her two children, ages 13 and 8. Lauren Colletti, FNP, is a Nurse Practitioner and Board-Certified Functional Medicine expert with a deep passion for women's health. With nearly 20 years in healthcare, she has helped thousands of women navigate hormonal shifts, thyroid and digestive issues, autoimmunity, fertility, menopause, and more. ​Trained by leading experts in women's health, genomics, peptides, and longevity medicine, Lauren is dedicated to simplifying the health journey and helping women feel confident in their bodies at every stage of life—without the overwhelm. Her personalized, root-cause approach focuses on building a strong foundation while using cutting-edge therapies to create lasting wellness. She believes women deserve more than one-size-fits-all solutions—they deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered. ​As a wife and mother to three beautiful children—Hazel, Harrison, and Holland—Lauren is continually inspired by her patients and community. She is on her own journey to thrive through every phase of life and is passionate about helping others do the same.

Stop letting procrastination stall your family business succession. Dr. Moira Somers explains the neuroscience of avoidance and how to master emotional regulation for better family governance. Why do the smartest families avoid the most important conversations? Whether it's succession planning, wealth transition, or conflict resolution, the "fault lines" in a family business usually aren't financial—they're neurological. In this episode of Safe Space, we sit down with neuropsychologist and family wealth consultant Dr. Moira Somers. As the author of Advice that Sticks, Moira has spent her career studying why high-net-worth families often know what to do, yet fail to do it. We dive deep into the psychology of procrastination and avoidance, moving past the "just do it" advice to understand the fear and anxiety that keep families stuck. We solve three core problems in this conversation: The Avoidance Trap: Why your family "forgets" to talk about the future and how to break the cycle of procrastination. Facilitating the Hard Stuff: A pragmatic roadmap for hosting difficult family conversations without ending in emotional shutdowns. The Trust Factor: How emotional regulation and behavioral economics can be used to build a stronger foundation for family enterprise governance. If you are a "Family Champion" or a leader in a family office struggling with a stalled transition, Moira's grounded approach offers a way to bring about positive change. It's time to move from "misconduct" and "fault lines" to a future built on trust and strategic clarity.

https://www.therecovereddad.com/fathers-freedom-framework In today's episode of The Recovered Dad Podcast, we explore why shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces and why that truth matters not only for porn addiction recovery but also for fatherhood. We talk about how men heal when they can bring their full story into the light without fear, guilt, or judgment, and how that same kind of emotional safety is exactly what our children need from us as fathers. We also unpack the connection between recovery and becoming a safer dad. When we learn how to regulate our emotions, stay present in uncomfortable moments, and respond instead of react, we create the kind of psychological and emotional safety that builds trust with our kids over time. This episode is a powerful conversation about healing, visibility, vulnerability, and the urgency of building connection while we still have the time. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:00] Welcome back to The Recovered Dad Podcast and today's conversation on shame, recovery, and fatherhood. [01:00] Why shame loses power when men share their stories in safe spaces without judgment. [02:00] The powerful reminder that 80 percent of the time we spend with our kids happens before age 12. [03:00] How recovery work does more than help men quit porn and actually helps them become safer fathers. [05:00] What it feels like to finally enter a space where men openly talk about porn recovery without shame. [08:00] Why a reset in recovery does not mean failure and how safe community helps men rebuild instead of hide. [10:00] The connection between shame in men and shame in children and why both lead to hiding and self protection. [13:00] What it means for a child to know dad is safe, not just for the father to believe he is safe. [22:00] Why emotional resilience is some of the most important work a father can do for his recovery and his family. [25:00] How fathers create the kind of trust that leads a son or daughter to make that 2 AM phone call when life goes sideways.

During “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge and Marc Cox react to the University of Missouri ending direct funding for minority student organizations including the Legion of Black Collegians and the Association of Latin American Students, which collectively received about $140,000. The change follows federal guidance tied to Pam Bondi warning universities about funding tied to protected characteristics, prompting schools like Washington University in St. Louis to adjust DEI programs. The hosts debate “safe spaces,” question preferential funding, and argue student groups should compete equally for limited funds moving forward. The segment closes with commentary on how universities may restructure DEI programs while maintaining similar initiatives under new labels.

339: How Human Skills Unleash the Real Power of Generative AI with Anthony Salcito

It is such a wild time to be in the world of training and development, isn't it? I've had this persistent hunch—call it a "zag" when everyone else is "zigging"—that as much as we're obsessing over AI, the real secret sauce is still our human intuition . I recently sat down with Anthony Salcito from Coursera, and it turns out my hypothesis wasn't just wishful thinking. We've all seen those robotic AI outputs that sound like they've never actually lived a day in their lives, and while I've certainly fumbled through my share of prompt engineering, the data shows that our soft skills are more critical than ever . We're navigating a world where we have more data than we know what to do with, and the magic happens when we decide how to use that information to lead with empathy and culture . Key Conversation Themes The Symbiotic Rise of AI and Human Agency. While technical enrollments are skyrocketing, they are being matched by a demand for leadership and critical thinking to ensure these tools are used ethically and effectively . "Humanity will always become more valuable when the technology is more pervasive or used in a sort of a paradigm-shifting way, like what's happening with AI." The Critical Need for Discerning Truth In an era of deepfakes and advanced data models, a core human talent is the ability to separate reality from generated content and prioritize what truly matters for an organization . "Discerning reality from what is created by Gen AI is certainly a core talent... that's really where that human is super critical." Cultivating an Entrepreneurial Mindset Internally. Organizations are looking for intrapreneurs—people who use AI tools to think bigger and pivot quickly without being constrained by historical technological limits . "You want an entrepreneurial mindset to exist inside of learners in an organization that think differently about using these tools." AI as a Safe Space for Human Growth. One of the most exciting applications is using AI for role-playing, allowing employees to practice difficult conversations and gain confidence without the fear of being judged by a peer . "It's hard to roleplay with a human, because you're worried about being judged... I can see it being much safer to do with a robot." Actionable Takeaway Audit your AI prompts for Human Activation. The next time you use a generative tool, don't just accept the first output. Apply your unique lived experience to pivot the prompt, asking the tool to provide a multi-perspective view or a specific organizational culture lens to ensure the result has the humanity required to drive real business change .

Something strange has happened to modern intimacy. People say they want love, but the moment love starts acting like love, they call it unsafe. Not unsafe in the sense of real danger, not abuse, not harm, not betrayal in progress. Unsafe in the sense that their heart started beating faster, their control started slipping, their certainty started shaking, and suddenly the relationship feels like a problem that needs regulation instead of an experience that needs courage. Somewhere along the line, the idea of a safe space moved from protecting human dignity to protecting human ego, and now people walk into relationships the way lawyers walk into negotiations. Careful, guarded, alert, ready to withdraw the second anything feels unpredictable. Everybody says they want honesty until honesty changes how they feel about themselves. Everybody says they want loyalty until loyalty does not erase insecurity. Everybody says they want trust, but they want trust to come with guarantees, and love has never signed that agreement.

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Why physician wellness programs must evolve beyond institutions." Jessie reflects on her seventeen years leading in-house wellness initiatives and argues that while institutional programs provide legitimacy, they are ultimately insufficient for deep healing. She explains that true recovery requires stepping away from the very environments that cause distress to find spaces free from agendas and evaluation. The conversation highlights the unique power of independent, physician-led programs that prioritize mindfulness, somatic healing, and connection with nature. Jessie contends that physicians cannot transform the health care system if they are barely surviving within it, making external wellness spaces not a luxury, but a foundational necessity for sustaining the profession.
